The American Merino.

H. G. Day writes from Murray county,
Minnesota, to the ST. Paul Farmer as fol-
lows: "Sheep husbandry has been but a
little attended to during the past in this
county; there is, however, an increasing
interest. Several farmers are inquirng
where the best strains and most suitable
varieties may be found. Our opinion is
that the circumstances warrant this in
crease of interest and that there is much
money to be realized from this industry
Our opinion is that the American Merino
sheepis best for all purposes. This varie
ty of sheep in small lots will herd with
cattle successfully. Every farmer who
has flock of sheep, can raise his own
meat and readily care for the same, while
the wool Or the pelts of the flock will al
ways find ready market. Dry weather
and scarcity of water do not initiate so
seriously against this industry as against
cattle raising. Sheep are, furthermore,
almost proof against loss from disease. On
money invested we think no stock will
pay better returns.

advertises for teams to work on the grade
The company are in a hurry to complete
this work and as they could not afford to
wait, someone had to take the contract
wno would commence Immediately.
Corning has already started his tools and
machinery from Bozeman and will COM
mence this week Carmichael, the tie
contractor has already senta large crew
of wood choppers to Laurel 10 commence
getting out ties. Engineer Holroyd, who
will have charge of the cross-section work,
came down recently to join Engineer
knowlton at LAUREL The contract for the
bridge has been set and the pile driver
will be at work in few days preparing
for the laying of the foundation of the
piers. The extension to Cooke City will
probably be commenced as soon as the
road to the coal banks is completed. The
tie work will be done this winter and
every effort made to place the road in a
condition to be quickly showed through to
completion.

The Boston Wool Trade.

BosToN. October L. The dmerican
Wool Reporter says the market continues
dull and unsatisfactory, and exhibits little
of special feature. A little more inquiry
was reported this week: but it is mainly
directed to picking up lots which looked
cheap, and as yet manufacturers show no
disposition to stock UP in advance of their
wants. Still, we think there is a little
hopeful feeling among dealers. and the
disposition is growing to hold stocks rath-
er than sell at any further concessions. A
great deal depends upon the condition of
the money market. If money should con-
tinue tight for another month. dealers
would be forced to realize on their stocks
from their inability to get their notes re-
newed; and consequently a great 1eal of
wool would be forced upon the market, to
the decentralization of prices. This is ev-
identity what manufacturers have in view.
So if money becomes easy, there seems to
be no reason why brisk trade should not
be the immediate result The quotations
for Montana woods in the seaboard mar
kets are as follows: Fine choice, 2fM23c;
average. 1a@21e; fine medium choice, 80
m25c: average, 2f023c; medium choice,

A COMING COUNTRY.
The Valley of the Milk Reported
Rich in Agricultural Possibil-
ities-A Large Area of
CoaI-fields.

Mr. Colin Napier, the well-known min
ing engineer, who has returned from a
visit to the Milk river valley, brings good
reports of it. He says the Manitoba road is
about as solid and as good as if it had been
built 20 years. Cattle trains move at the
of about 26 miles an hour which is a rapid
rate Oil new road. They make the trip
from the Big Sandy to Minot, 460 miles in
about II hours
Mr. Napier says the Milk river country
is undoubtedly fine region for agricnlt-
ural purposes. The soil is we'll adapted
for potatoes and other root crops. This
may be seen by the fine vegetables shown
at the Indian agency which has a la ge
farm. The land in the direction of the
Bear Paw mountains, is well watered and
fertile. The Indians cultivate the ground
in spets in rude kind of way. he
heard ofan Indian who ate the seed Io-
tatoes which he received. He was consid-
eraly interested in the Indian mode of life.
He considers that coal exists in large
quantities in the Milk river country and
that the quality is very good for general
purposes. The coal is used both at Fort
Assina boine and at Belknap and is much
liked.

The Modern Bad Boy.

A gentleman residing in the suburbs of
Albany was recently called to the door by
a ragged urehin, who said: .'Some boys
have been stealing your pears, mister. |
wanted some but wouldn't steal, so /
thought l would ask you to give me a
few" Struck by the boys honesty the
gentleman gave the boy hatful of pears,
but directed the gardener to follow him.
The man did so, and reported that the boy
ran around the corner where he found
two of his companions who were divid-
ing the stolen pears, and, adding his own
supply TO theirs, exclaimed: He bit like
a sucker, boys.N--dlbang Journal.

NEARLY TWO MILLION.
A Mine Tributary to Great Falls
Pays 81, ,735,1 80 in Dividends
and has Millions More
in Sight.

MARYsvILLE, October 5.-The semi
annual report of the Montana Company
Limited (the Drum LummoD for the half
year ending June 30 is full of interest.
The directors show net profit for the
half year of 100000 and from this declare
quarterly dividend of s245,a50, which is
payable on October Is. When this is paid
the company will have distributed in div
idends in all 81, 1,735, 80, all but about s45,-
900 of which has been in two years.
The experience in working the new
mill is spoken of most satisfactorily, the
cost of mining aud milling 1857 tons of
ore by its arrangement having been only
1888 per ton and the mill having much
more than paid for itself in the first COM
pleted half year of operation. The ap-.
pointment of G. II. Robinson as deputy
manager is announced and warm thanks
to him and to Manager Bayliss (now in
London), Superintendent Bratnober and
their staff generally are expressed.
Manager Bayliss' report contains some
interesting figures. The ore in sight on
June 80 was estimated to be: High grade,
76,187 tons: low grade, 13S, ,3s5 tons. The
high grade ore, as milled, yields better
than ever before. Superintendent Brat
nober's report shows the condition of the
mine End its outlook to be better than ever
before. 1t is now developed to the depth
of about 760 feet aud shows the same CON
tinuous ore bodies.

All Look to the Manitoba.

As stated last week, the result of the
Northern Pacifcs annual election has
frustrated many of ex-governor Hauser's
branch line projects, and would have re-
suited somewhat seriously to Montana,
especially Helena, were 1t not for the
Manitoba road. To the newcomer Hell
ena now transfers its affections with all
the ardor of gushing maiden. Bozeman,
too, expects assistance from the Manitoba,
and is in fair way to have her fondest
hopes realized. We believe that there are
yet many interesting developments to
come to the surface in connection with
the late railway election, and would not
be surprised to see several official heads
drop with a dull thud into the wasts

Two Drinks for a Dime,

A friend told ME an amusing expert
ence the other day, which illustrates the
ingenuity which q man when he wants a
drink very badly will exercise in order to
obtain relief for his inordinate appetite.
1t appears, says Chicago paper, that a
young man approached him on the street
and, telling piteous tale of privation and
woe, solicited sufficient to purchase a
meal. Ny friend, who is peculiarly open
to these appeals, much to the detriment
of his purse, gave the fellow all he had
about him in change-10 cents-telling
him that would at all events keep him
from starving.
Selling the money the man started off
and was joined by companion who had
been watching developments from short
distance, and the two made off at a round
pace in earnest consultation and were
followed out of curiosity by my friend
The two entered a saloon where whiskey
is retailed at ten cents a glass, and the
first man, throwing down his dime. called
for whiskey straight Selling the bottle
he poured out level tumblerful, much
to the secret indignation of the bartender,
who muttered something about taking a
BATH
Raising the glass to his lips the fellow
drank half the contents, when. suddenly
stopping with a look of disgust, he
said:
"What's the matter with this whiskey,
anyhow"
"Nawthin'," replied the knight of the
white apron and the Alaska diamond
headlight. "You must be off yer base;
there amt nawthin' the matter With
it,
aLet me taste it." said the friend, and
taking the glass he drained t to the
dregs: q don't see nothing the matter
with it."
SWELL, may be wrong" said the other,
and the two were leaving the saloon. when
the bartender, whose anger had changed
into admiration, said: Look here, you
two chaps, here and I'll stand treat I've
been in business for 10 years, and thought
| knew all the ropes, but this takes the
cake
My friend was of the same opinion. and
said if he had another dime in his pocket
he would have bestowed it on the ingeni-
Gus rogues

Railroads Aid Slleepmen.

HELENA, October 5.-Data is being col
lected by the secretary of the Montana
Stock Growers Association for his forth
coming brand book. Stockmen generally
are cheerful over their prospects for the
future, and nearly all of them predict a
mild winter. Sheepmen have nearly all
marketed their wool crop, which this year
brought a better price than ever before,
while transportation rates were somewhat
lower, both by rail and river. The new
branch lines of railroad now under can-
struction as feeders to the Northern Pa
cif1c and Manitoba systems. while built
ostensibly for the development of new
mineral fields, are having and will con
tinue to have their effect on the sheep in
dustry, because hey make possible the
settlement of small isolated mountain val
leys, in nearly all of which small bands of
sheep are finding their way, and they will
prove very profitable investments.

tell whether more stringent measures

course, was the great object of the Tories.
